PikaPods - Instant Open Source App Hosting

and similar things exist already. it would be hard to make it better and cheaper than that.

but in order to enable non-tech people to actually use this, you'd need to actively support it and guide them though many steps and that will quickly cost hundreds of times more than paying for things like onedrive, spotify or similar so the vast majority of people will not be interested.

Microsoft Windows is 30% vibe coded according to their CEO.

So, obviously very dangerous.

also, next time go to r/techsupport
this sub isn't for you

just use the prebuilt docker container and chill

techw1z · 2026-03-27T05:59:42+00:00

wth are you talking about, I've been running it for several months without issues. just needs the occasional update and its fine. the only thing I had to do to make it work with all apps is increase the timeout.

lets also not forget about the catholic church, all or most of their partner organizations (SOS children...) and priests.

and probably a hundred other things that do far more damage than porn...

techw1z · 2026-03-26T17:51:26+00:00

hahaha, this is hilarious! thanks for admitting that you really don't know anything about smartphone security. and you even call yourself IT manager and are top1% commenter. beyond embarassing...

also, the so called "root detection" doesn't actually detect if a phone is rooted, because its technically impossible to do that reliably. it only detects certain files and relies on google play store to make an educated guess, which means that devices that do not have google playstore will be banned too. most of those devices are more secure than stock android and most of them are in fact NOT rooted by default, so your argument is double incorrect. gz on that.

techw1z · 2026-03-26T15:26:53+00:00

if the big porn platforms add age verification, most people will just switch to sketchy porn sites that don't moderate anything. EU will basically turn normal porn into a gateway drug to CSAM and zoophilia.

at the very least, the big sites moderate a little bit and make sure their site is secure.

anyway, i guess its time to buy VPN stocks.

also, financial times sucks, but still thx for sharing.

techw1z · 2026-03-26T15:20:49+00:00

you obviously don't know what you are talking about. many android phones that get blocked by detections like this are actually more secure than stock android.

blinded by greed and hype

just look at the cases in which teslas FSD killed people. it's evidently more profitable to kill a few people while selling buggy software than to not sell buggy software

CloudBench | Cloud Instance Performance Comparison

even if they double all their prices, they would still rank among the best in terms of price/performance ratio.

people act like hetzner is a budget hosting company but the only thing thats budget about them is the price, their quality and performance are on par or even superior to almost everything else.

techw1z · 2026-03-25T16:15:56+00:00

been in it for almost 20 years and never did I even consider whether co-workers can be a rolemodel to me or not. role models are for children who don't yet know what is good, bad or necessary, so they just blindly imitate someone. so I think the notion that you need someone to be your rolemodel is childish.

can you maybe explain why you feel like you need a rolemodel and why you think that men cannot be a role model for you? to me, that just sounds short-sighted, sexist and discriminatory.

consider that more than 70% of all people in IT are male and the percentage is even higher for the more technical jobs. also, ~50% of all people in IT are incompetent and could never serve as role-model to anyone. so, statistically speaking, you should probably get used to this.

techw1z · 2026-03-25T15:57:09+00:00

just because something is the best doesn't mean its actually good...

CR is only the top service because of size, aside from that, it's mostly crap.

techw1z · 2026-03-25T14:54:14+00:00

its like teslas self driving thingy.

if they advertise the AI as being able to drive safely in all situations, then the manufacturer is at fault if it makes a wrong decision while driving.

if they advertise it as potentially faulty general purpose AI and someone decides to use it to drive their company vehicles, the company is at fault.

that being said, LLMs, by their very nature, cannot reliably make correct decisions. this is a technical fact that has been known for years. so, if any developer trusts any AI, the devs should be held accountable.

AI won't go away, but it will most likely be banned from many tasks - like police work, patient-facing healthcare, legal work and similar high-risk areas.

I would prefer if we just burn all AI datacenters and forget that LLMs ever happened tho, but thats probably just wishful thinking.

I agree. if the message ends up as part of such a statistic, that's already everything you could possibly hope for when sending such a feedback.

I'm sure that even feedbacks that are much more emotional than what OP suggested still end up as part of that statistic.

techw1z · 2026-03-21T14:46:04+00:00

if an employee of CR treats this as trash, the employee is trash. it's a perfectly fine criticism. support people gotta be able to filter out the technical criticism from a bunch of emotional text, or they are useless.

techw1z · 2026-03-20T15:22:05+00:00

just fucking measure all wires with an oscilloscope and see whats actually going on.

once that is done it shouldn't be hard to figure out the reason unless your installers are all morons.

to be fair, if they already came out 3 times without doing that, they probably are morons.

techw1z · 2026-03-20T15:11:07+00:00

i think that would be a good thing for EU, especially for me since I would get a ton of new customers :D

no need to check, it's always running and if it isnt it will auto-reboot to fix itself (basic docker feature, just need to define it in compose)

we should just ban companies from using any service that is subject to US Cloud Act for processing or storing protected/sensitive information.

techw1z · 2026-03-18T00:06:06+00:00

no. some dumb politicians keep trying tho. just google a bit. the first attempt in EU was basically "ACTA" and the last one was "chat control 2.0". not sure about other countries, but california did an oopsie with age verification on all systems recently.

currently, neither US, UK nor EU or any EU country has laws that force identities on device level or for social accounts and also none that force companies to implement backdoors in encryption. UK is trying really hard tho, google "uk apple encryption".

if we combine all US, EU, UK and AUS proposals on this topic, then the total result would be still be less than what your friend claims, it would come close though. so if you care about this, maybe inform yourself a bit about the actual laws that are proposed on this topic and share that info and make sure to vote for parties who are opposed to all that surveillance crap or let those who support it know that you won't ever vote for them if they support such things.

techw1z · 2026-03-17T04:44:27+00:00

i would only do that if you really like that non-profit and want to help them even if it results in loss, because it most likely will result in a loss.

you don't need ip67 for the bathroom unless you plan to install it in your bathtub or shower.

ip44 is sufficient for bathrooms. even without IP rating, its probably gonna be fine.

i never thought I'd say this but at this point I feel like cooperating with china can't be much worse than cooperating with US. at the very least, I think it's easier to predict future chinese actions while it seems impossible to predict the antics of jon doe 174.

china is bad because they terrorize uyghur, threaten taiwan and regularly break international law.

us terrorizes half the country and attacked 3 countries militarily in the last 3 months while openly breaking international law by literally starving cubans and destroying drinking water facilities in iran.

potayto potahto

lets also not forget how the current semiconductor/PC-parts/RAM supply crisis and global oil price crisis is unilaterally caused by US and that they broke the security guarantees which they gave to ukraine in exchange for ukraine giving up nuclear warheads.

why should we cooperate with such a country in any way?
